Why are we so judged when circumstances keep us from living up to everyone's expectations?Kate Anne [moi -- and her girlhood friend]:
One of the nice things about getting older is that we become more lenient about expectations. Concentrate on the positive, where there has been success (probably lots of it), and let the rest go. Breathe, release, relax, and then as my sainted mother would say, "Let the asses bray."
Truly green CLEAN energy (NOT coal which is NOT clean nor green as it damages the environment) must be the focus -- NOT the Keystone XL pipeline which is an environmental disaster. Dirty heavy oil whose pipeline could leak and whose building would destroy forests and threaten CLEAN water could mean "GAME OVER", says one leading environmentalist. PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR PROMISES. Say NO to the Keystone Pipeline!!!
We need GREEN jobs, not LIFE-DESTROYING jobs. Please put the emphasis on truly green energy.
Please keep me apprised.
Most sincerely,
Kate Anne
Dear Speaker Boehner,
Republicans promised jobs, ran on it in 2010, and still we allow companies tax breaks for shipping jobs out of the country while more and more of us US citizens remain jobless. We need more good paying US jobs, not just McDonalds or Walmart jobs. HELP, Please introduce legislation that will promote middle class good paying jobs HERE in the USA. Things are getting desperate for lots of people and we do NOT want any riots in our streets. Maybe it is time for a US jobs program. (Our infrastructure needs a serious face lift, too.) Please remember your promise and provide JOBS.
Please keep me apprised.
Thank you and regards.
I continue to debate radical conservatives on mainstream media because the media thinks the truth lies halfway between right and wrong.
The greatest threat to democracy is the silence of thoughtful citizens in the face of extremists who will stop at nothing to get their way.
If you respond to what's happened in DC with more cynicism and apathy, the radical right wins completely. Instead: Organize and mobilize!
Make no mistake: We are still held hostage by radical right. Paying ransom always leads to more extortion.
Behind Tea Party lie Koch bros, Rupert Murdoch, & other right-wing billionaires bent on destroying US economy and removing O from office.
All stock gains of 2011 wiped out because debt deal has made it almost impossible for govt to boost economy. Beware Friday's job numbers.
The radical right has won a huge tactical and strategic victory. Democrats have proven they have no tactics and no strategy.
Anyone who characterizes the debt-ceiling deal as a victory for the Am people over partisanship understands neither politics nor economics.
The Am public will not blame Rs for the coming double-dip jobs recession, because the deal over the debt ceiling implicates the Ds as well.
It is not the case that "both sides" gave up "sacred cows." Rs linked the debt ceiling to their demand for smaller govt. They've got it.
The heinous deal is preferable to economic catastrophe. The outrage and shame is it has come to this choice.
The hostage crisis may be over but the US economy will now suffer insufficient demand and a govt incapable of boosting it.
Ds can no longer campaign on R's desire to Medicare and Soc Security, now that O has agreed it . A tactical and strategic defeat for Ds.
Defining the problem is 95 percent of the battle in Washington. O and D's have let GOP define the problem as the nation's debt.
No tax increases on rich yet almost certain cuts in Med and Social Security, and deficit cuts when joblessness is soaring. An insane deal.
If we restore jobs and growth, the ratio of debt to GDP drops, and the so-called "debt crisis" improves. If we don't, the opposite occurs.
All this talk about shared sacrifice to balance budget diverts attention from biggest issue -- getting Ams back to work & restoring growth.
Everyone is talking cooking. So for dinner tonight I made myself a Fritata, Italian Omelet.
Sliced zucchini, baby portabella mushrooms, chopped tomatoes, sauteed in Olive Oil with a pat of butter for taste, spices are oregano, garlic powder, pepper, and pepper flakes, Enough eggs beaten to make a thick fritata after veggies are sauteed. Sprinkle with grated Italian cheese of your choice. Cover and cook on medium heat until eggs are cooked. Slice pizza style and serve.
Spinach Fritatas are good also.
If you have an oven safe pan, you can finish it in the oven. The eggs will rise more if you do that.
@toniD: I had one of those for breakfast, this afternoon, only scrambled.
I used a lot of the same ingredients. Mine was sauteed zucc, onion, baby portabellas, red peppers in olive oil. Then I threw that in and scrambled it with 3 eggs, a crumbled corn tortilla, chopped turkey and pepperoni, italian seasoning, cajun seasoning, salt and pepper.
Ate with a side of buttered multigrain toast and a tall glass of V8
Hangover breakfasts are awesome!
